The Center for Data Science is among the first initiatives embarked upon by the College of Information and Computer Sciences when it was established in 2015. Momentum for creating a center had begun long before the creation of the new college brought about by the depth of faculty expertise in data science foundations and the longstanding commitment
to offering the highest quality education.The timing to launch a center dedicated to data science became ideal when key factors came into alignment: rapidly accelerated interest across virtually every industry domain, steadily increasing demand by students, vigorous support from the new college and university administration, and the boundless intellectual curiosity within the university computer science community by a cohesive team of highly regarded faculty researchers who have enduring successful ventures to their credit.
